Reviews of Roses Musk
by Montale

Roses Musk is a high pitched scent with undertones of amber and raspberry in the background (although I have to admit that I can also detect a slight urinal note but I don't find it terribly off-putting). It's a pleasant creation and the sillage and longevity is up to the usual Montale standards. However, the drydown is too reminiscent of Aoud Roses Petals (albeit lighter).

For those who generally find oud off-putting, this might be worth investigating.

This is a powerhose - one squeeze and you'll be walking with a halo of rose scent for something like 18 hours. At least, that's how long it kept going for me. However, it doesn't project far but rather stay close to the skin and I find it includes a touch of smokiness that don't distract from the rose scent, only make it more interesting. Other than rose main theme, I find a slight smokiness and vanilla. This is not a scent I'd use during hot days for sure because of its sweetness. Cold and rainy days or night time use would be great for this one.
Again, I feel that caution must be used with this scent as it is so concentrated - one press should create enough of a cloud to walk in to and smell great for many hours. On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 would be male and 10 female (obviously), I'd call it a 4.
